| description | This thesis consists of three essays on AML controls, the determinants of AML governance systems, and the association between money laundering risk and related party transactions (RPTs). Findings show that strength in AML governance systems are negatively and significantly associated with government directors and level of government ownership in GCC listed financial firms.

Money laundering risk is significantly and positively associated with RPTs. |
